2024 will be the year that reality catches up to western unreality


I was planning on training for a half marathon and getting work in a position where I don’t need to log on I’ve Xmas. I might need to revise my ambitions upward.

I'm going to spend the next 60 days making the argument that President Trump should abolish DEI, restrict critical race theory, shut down the Department of Education, and lay siege to the Ivy League universities, beginning on Day One. That's the campaign. Sprint to the finish.

Seen so many tweets along these lines. In my personal experience: My cousin traced her stolen laptop to an apartment – police did nothing. My brother was mugged by people he knew – police did nothing. Electrician at work was mugged by people he knew – police did nothing.

I had £13.6k nicked from me and the police said they couldn’t do anything about it, even though I know who the guy is, had evidence etc. Yet if I call the Metropolitan Police a bunch of massive fat spastics I might get in trouble?



Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or a BlueSky user which encounter with reality caused them to leave Twitter


A third of a toenail started coming off my left foot. I rang the GP and was offered a video appointment in 4 weeks time. “Won’t it be infected by then?” I ask “Look if it’s an emergency you should go to A&E” came the reply. I ended up ripping the problem nail out with pliers…


Yes to all of this Bleak and honest.

This is the baseline against which the vibes (and as yet, that’s all we have) since the budget are that hiring plans are being scaled back, next year the economy looks like it could sink even deeper into stagnation.

Regular rampage attacks with knives & vehicles are in fact a new kind of threat in British cities & it is not unreasonable to be angry about the politicians who have allowed them to become A Thing. Me at @TheCriticMag on armed police at Christmas markets. thecritic.co.uk/debunking-the-…


Your first reaction to this video will tell your true political tribe A) this is what happens when you give them the vote (racist / sexist depending on what you assumed “them” to mean) B) appalling breach of process (centrist dad) C) you go girl! (female lib code accepter) D)…

Here's a better angle that shows the @Maori_Party performing the haka right up in David Seymour's face. He looks shit scared.

The NPC meme is anything but a meme, as if you needed telling. A massive new psychological study shows that various behavioural and psychological aspects of uniqueness have declined significantly in the last 20 years.

The genie is out of the bottle. Mass deportation has been mainstreamed as a policy solution and I don’t think that it ever goes back in again.

Almost 40,000 crimes from foreign reoffenders could have been prevented between April 2018 and March 2022 if our weak politicians had the courage to do what is necessary. There are three correct answers... Deport, deport, deport.

Does anyone know how this factors in dependents?

In 2022-23. 1,218,000 new foreigners were allowed in. 499,500 signed on to universal credit. 41%. For England the 21st century was a mistake.

The state is failing because of the obligations it sets itself

— Trump’s negotiators presented the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement, a trade agreement signed in 2020, as a blueprint, but the UK rejected that text as insufficient on areas including climate — that appears to pose a significant hurdle for Starmer bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Excellent piece in The Economist today on a subject I’ve been banging on about a while!

Wage compression! As the minimum wage continues to increase while productivity stays flat we see the bunching up of pay distribution in the lower half of earnings meaning that those in the middle feel closer to the bottom, not the top. Hugely messes up labour market incentives.

If information technology is inherently destabilising, then less liberal regimes with low state capacity may well be teetering on a knife-edge between anarchy and the construction of non-libertarian state capacity of a tech panopticon. This is basically the British future

Britain is home to Europe's biggest population of illegal migrants, and it isn't hard to see why: Just 41pc of those turned down for asylum between 2010 and 2020 had been removed from the UK by 2022. We conduct roughly 11 illegal working enforcement visits a day across the…

Convinced Britain is an open door that American RW hasn’t clocked? With tiny investments, they could run big campaigns against the Communications Act. What buys a senator’s aide in the US can get you a political party. Yusuf bought Reform for the price of a semi in Basingstoke.

Westminster sources describe glum looks of many on Tory benches in response to Kemi Badenoch's week 2 PMQs performance. "Makes you realise how competent Sunak actually was," says one. "Only got our members to thank for this," says another.

Rupert Lowe is turning out to be an energetic investigator of governmental incompetence, doing more good on this topic than hundreds of other MPs combined 👇

£60.6 million of OUR money was spent storing PPE in China, the Department of Health has told me. ALL of this waste MUST be uncovered - we are just beginning to scratch the surface...
